Small transfer station on Miller Road used by Wilmington residents and local small haulers. The site compacts trash and then hauls it off to a landfill elsewhere, so it's handier than driving to a far-off dump. Works well for carloads and small trailers.
Drive in from Miller Rd and slow down-there's a clear drive aisle that leads toward an entrance point and where vehicles stop to unload. Recycling and bulky-item containers are usually near the main tipping area, with big compactors and roll-off trucks moving around. Keep a safe distance from equipment and stay in your vehicle until it's your turn to unload. Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait at busy times.

- Secure loads with a tarp or straps; loose debris tends to blow out and create a mess on the way home.
- Sort as much as possible before arriving-having recyclables and bulky items separated makes the drop-off quicker.
- Try for an early weekday visit if possible; afternoons and weekends are the busiest and commonly have waits.
